Thanks for watching and commenting! I totally agree, Devil's Bridge has an intimidating beauty to it. When you're there, the views are worth every bit of the adrenaline rush. If you ever visit, take it slow and enjoy every moment. Happy travels! 🌄✨
I live here. If you do decide to come, please do the following: - Respect our town as you would respect your own home - Learn how to be courteous while navigating roundabouts - Do not turn left from the right lane - Do not give money to the "homeless" on the corners. They all drive Audis. - Picazzos is the best happy hour; Mariposa is overrated. - Red lights mean stop...not speed up. - Most of all....have fun!
Thank you for your local insights! It's always great to hear from residents who know the area best. Your tips will surely help future visitors enjoy Sedona responsibly and make the most of their visit. 🌟🚗
Absolutely! 😍 Sedona is indeed a stunning destination to explore. If you have any more questions or need further recommendations, feel free to ask. Enjoy your travels! 🏞️✨
There is no such place as Crescent Moon Rock. It's called the Crescent Moon Recreation Area, and it was named for the ranch that existed there. It's always good to get info from a knowledgeable local.
We just returned from the Sedona area. It should be noted that most hikes in Sedona are not easy or safe trails. Caution should be used! We found hiking around the Grand Canyon rim safer. We love Sedona but wish it was safer for all ages.
Thank you for sharing your experience! 😊 Safety is definitely key, and it's great to hear feedback from fellow travelers. Sedona's trails can indeed be challenging, and it's always important to be well-prepared and cautious, especially on the more difficult hikes. 🥾🌄 Thanks for watching and for the valuable insight! 👍
One of my favorite places in the world. I climbed Cathedral Rock when I was 62 and would try it again if ever I get back there. Devil's bridge was fun to hike but I was the photographer for my husband. Not for those who might feel a little dizzy on high narrow paths.😎
That's fantastic! Cathedral Rock is definitely a climb to be proud of, especially at 62! And I agree, Devil's Bridge can be a bit dizzying but the views are worth it. Thanks for sharing your experiences! 🌄📸😃
I’ve watched a ton of Sedona videos and this was the first one that mentioned something about safety and what to look out for. Thankfully I didn’t see any snakes or scorpions when I was there back in May but I did get heat rash one of the days I was out there. It looked like I had poison ivy and I knew I wasn’t anywhere where I could have touched something like that. I was drinking a ton of water but a nurse friend of mine who lives in AZ told me I should have been drinking something to replenish my electrolytes and not just drink water. Lesson learned and after I bought some medicine the rash completely went away by the next day.
Thank you for sharing your experience! Safety tips are crucial, especially in places like Sedona. Your feedback will surely help others stay safe while exploring Sedona. Cheers! 🌞🙌
We just got back from 4 days in Sedona. 12/26 - 12 /29. Boy was it disappointing. The scenery is beautiful, but be prepared for HORRIBLE traffic, mediocre and ridiculously overpriced food, trails so crowded that the trailhead parking lots are full, and town full of nothing but tourist junk shops. It is off season now but it still took us 1.5 hrs to go a little under 2 miles to get through town. It was bumper to bumper traffic and there is only one way thru town and the road is one lane each way. I cannot imagine what it is like peak season. We waited over an hour for a table at Javelina Cafe and spent 60$ on two entrees and no drinks. Here in LA it would have been 1/2 that. The food situation was a disaster. Huge lines everywhere, many places not taking same day reservations, and the prices were just insulting, especially for what you got. So, a very pretty place, but be prepared to be pay thru the nose for everything and traffic worse than LA at rush hour. ( where we are from). The whole place felt like one big tourist trap and a place that is not designed for the amount of people who come there. I feel sorry for the locals. I cannot imagine how they deal with the traffic, crowds and prices on a day to day basis.
True, Sedona's traffic is heavy but you sound very whiney. Given that you twice made it a point to let it be known you're from LA, this comes as no surprise. Now that you're back in LA I hope you're enjoying homeless tent camps, garbage everywhere, six-dollar gallon of gas and mass shop lifting/burglary. Home sweet home!
thanks for this overview. I have always wanted to go and had a trip booked last week in October, flying from California. I really didn't want to fly but thought I'd brave it. I just canceled the trip. I hate crowded touristy areas !
I just came back from visiting Sedona about two weeks ago. I stayed a few minutes away from the city but not too far out. Honestly, traffic wasn’t bad at all. Food wasn’t an issue as we brought groceries into our resort to cook, and other than that the Trails weren’t too bad and visiting the Grand Canyon and Bearizona were pluses. Would definitely visit again.
@@RaoulDuke32 July is not the busy tourist time in Sedona, it's HOT. People go when it's a bit cooler. Who the hell goes on vacation in Arizona in July...it's close to 100 degrees there all this week.
Having grown up here and watched tourists destroy this once sacred place I think limitations are in order. Possibly even lottery draws to limit the amount of people. It resembles Disney now it’s so touristy. I personally believe no one should be allowed to live here it’s that sacred. But greed always overrides all else. The more Sedona is advertised the trashier it gets. Those roundabouts and pouring concrete over miles of beauty are an abomination.
I understand your frustration with parking in Sedona. It can be challenging due to limited space and private properties. To make your visit more enjoyable, try going during less crowded times like early mornings or weekdays. Also, consider visiting during the off-season or off-peak hours to find better parking opportunities. Enjoy your trip to Sedona and the beautiful sights it has to offer! 🏞️🚗
Thank You but there are other places to go. Sedona has that Snobbish feel I was on Verde Valley School Road this lady comes out says U cant park here I think it was that road its not worth it @@destinationdos
@laceysky6141 Great choices for your travels! Since Utah is on your list, you might enjoy my video on the top 10 things to do in Moab (th-cam.com/video/vJOCQ_ZBYjg/w-d-xo.html) to get some ideas. Colorado is also on my radar for upcoming content. Are there any particular cities in Utah or Colorado you're interested in? I'd love to hear your suggestions and possibly cover them in future videos! Safe travels! 🌄🚙
